Shopping trips 11/16 - Kroger, Giant Eagle, Target & CVS - OOP $7.28 Savings of: $74.17

So, I headed out yesterday to run around and get all the deals I wanted for this week. (well, last week for the GE ad) I was SO excited to actually have an AWESOME Kroger trip planned & I was going to be able to use one of the $5.00 off $35.00 coupons we receive weekly. I get to Kroger, start loading up my cart...and I realize I don't have the $5.00 coupon. UGGHHHHH. Luckily I guess, we received new $5.00 off $35.00 purchase coupons in the mail yesterday, so I will hit up Kroger on Sunday (when the coupons start) & before the new ad starts on Monday.

I also have a quite a few of the Amex prepaid gift cards I stocked up on at CVS before vacation, but I didn't read the fine print that they are accepted in the US ONLY & not on cruise lines...booo & I totally forgot to take those with me to pay for these trips.
